Headscarves and hymens : why the Middle East needs a sexual revolution / Mona Eltahawy. by Eltahawy, Mona, 1967- HarperCollins, 2015. Call #: 305.48697 E51h Subjects Muslim women -- Social conditions.   Muslim women -- Political activity.   Muslim women -- Civil rights.   Women's rights -- Islamic countries.   Women in Islam.   Women -- Middle East -- Social conditions.   Middle East -- Politics and government -- 21st century.   Arab countries -- Politics and government -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781443437967 (hc.) Description:  238 p. ; 20 cm. Summary:  "Mona Eltahawy is an Egyptian woman who wrote an article for Foreign Policy entitled Why Do They Hate Us?; 'they' being Muslim men, 'us' being women. The piece sparked controversy, of course, making it clear that misogyny in the Arab world is something that engages and enrages the public. In Headscarves and Hymens, Eltahawy takes her argument further. Drawing on her years as a campaigner and a commentator on women's issues in the Middle East, she explains that, since the Arab Spring began, women in the Arab world have had two revolutions to undertake: one fought with men against oppressive regimes; and another fought against an entire political and economic system that treats women in countries from Yemen and Saudi Arabia to Egypt, Tunisia and Libya as second-class citizens."--From publisher.
